Seven to eleven pilgrims, six to ten large cases
Family vans for pilgrim groups in Saudi Arabia
The class for groups that outgrow a car. Two vans: the Hyundai at seven pilgrims and six large cases, the Toyota Hiace at eleven and ten. Both are sold with the luggage counted, not assumed.

The H1 and the Starex are one van, not two
Hyundai sells this van as the H1 in some markets and the Starex in others, and pilgrims ask for both. It is one vehicle, and Hyundai says so itself: its model history introduces the H-1 as the van also known as the Starex. We list it once under both names rather than twice, so it comes up whichever name you use, and the seven seats and six large cases are the same either way.
Why we sell fewer seats than the factory fits
Hyundai builds this van as a nine- or twelve-seater and Toyota sells the Hiace Bus with thirteen occupants including the driver. We sell seven and eleven. That gap is the luggage: the rearmost row is where six or ten large cases actually go, and a group filling every factory seat has nowhere to put them. Selling the seats and the cases as one honest pair is the whole point of the class.
Where the manufacturer figures stop
Toyota Saudi Arabia publishes the Hiace Bus at 5,915 mm with a 3.5-litre petrol at 277 hp or a 2.8-litre turbodiesel at 161 hp. Hyundai lists no H1 or Starex on its Saudi site at all, so the 5,150 mm length and the 2.4 petrol and 2.5 diesel range come from its global brochure and we label them as global rather than pretending a Saudi sheet exists. Neither manufacturer publishes a luggage volume for a van with its seats in; the 6.2 and 9.3 cubic metre figures on Toyota's site belong to the cargo Hiace with no rear seats fitted. Our case counts are our own operated ones and are stated as such.
Which van, and when the class is wrong
Seven pilgrims with up to six large cases: the Hyundai. Eleven with up to ten: the Hiace. More than eleven, or eleven each with two checked cases, is a minibus booking rather than this one. Declaring the cases at the search stage is what moves you there, and it is a far better place to find out than the kerb at Jeddah.
